Four EU-funded nanosatellites, each smaller than a carry-on bag, entered low Earth orbit in May, making Greece the first country to operate a satellite constellation dedicated solely to wildfire detection. Thermal sensors identify fires as small as four metres across — far smaller than what conventional satellites can see — with AI processing the images and sending real-time alerts to firefighters every hour.

Grecia despliega cuatro nanosatélites para detectar incendios forestales desde el espacio

EURONEWS

Cuatro nanosatélites OroraTech financiados por la UE, cada uno más pequeño que una maleta de mano, entraron en órbita baja en mayo, convirtiendo a Grecia en el primer país del mundo con una constelación de satélites dedicada exclusivamente a la detección de incendios. Sus sensores térmicos identifican focos de apenas cuatro metros, y la inteligencia artificial procesa las imágenes en tiempo real, enviando alertas a los bomberos cada hora sin interrupciones. La red completa, con un coste de 200 millones de euros, estará operativa a finales de año.

Researchers have developed jackets made of a fabric that can harvest moisture from ambient air and channel it into detachable units, producing 400 to 900 milliliters of drinkable water per day. The same textile could be adapted for use in backpacks or tents for emergency responders and remote use.
